Bowl
This ten-footed bowl was used for the preparation of kava, a ceremonial drink that is widespread in almost all of Polynesia. For this purpose, crushed root pieces of the kava plant (Piper methysticum) were mixed with water in large bowls to produce a mildly intoxicating drink. The inside of the bowl shows an old repair by an inserted piece of wood. [UM]

The object is
part of a collection that the Linden Museum received from the Royal
Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart in 1913. Augustin Krämer, who was
the first director of the Linden Museum from 1911 to 1915, acquired it
during one of his stays on the Samoan islands. As a naval surgeon on the
SMS Bussard stationed in Apia, Krämer initially stayed in Sāmoa from
1893 to 1895. A second voyage, during which he also visited Hawai'i and
the Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), took him again to Sāmoa between 1897 and
1899. The date of the acquisition of the object and the exact
circumstances of the acquisition are not yet known.
